Housewares

Our living room space is finally starting to come together! Although this is not the best photo its the only one I have that shows most of the living room set up.

As you can see we finally got an armchair, although we need to get a second in order to arrange the room the way we want to.  I am also on the hunt for some amazing art and/or something that inspires me to make my own.  We have a 6' x 6' empty space that is just calling out for some art or something to be put up on the bare wall.

Domino totally approves of the new chair!  

I also picked up these crystal salt and pepper shakers.  They're the exact same kind that my grandmother has.  I love everything about them, the heaviness, the way they feel in my hand and the feeling of familiarity, of family, of being home whenever I look at them.

It's surprising what makes a house feel like a home. This Christmas we're going to get a Christmas Tree.  I haven't had a tree in years and am so excited to have one, to decorate it and to acquire new and different ornaments each year.  It will be Domino's first Christmas tree too.

McMiller Shooting Range

Last Wednesday Joseph took a vacation day and we headed down to McMiller Sports Complex to shoot some firearms.   It was a sunny but cold day but I had a pretty good time and got to shoot some different rifles than the one's I usually shoot.

When we left we went by this place that had caged peacocks, I only saw a beautiful white peacock in the cage but when we turned the corner we saw about 5 peacocks across the street in the woods, totally playing hooky.  I tried to take a picture it was like they knew and they ran deeper into the woods.
